Historically, Apple has never purposefully prevented anyone from
using whatever OS they'd like on their hardware. I used Yellow Dog
quite a bit several years back without issue on my PPC machines and
currently dual-boot my MacBook Pro between OS X and Windows. I can't
imagine Apple much cares what you do with it as long as you don't
expect support for alternative operating systems. It's not like
they're Microsoft, yet.
Also, this box will have 802.11n built in. Any have 802.11n hardware,
yet? Running into any stuttering while streaming wireless HD? Forgot
to mention 802.11n to the guy having wireless issues running g. :)
